The expression of nm23 gene product/NDPK was studied in curatively resected human gastric carcinoma, using anti-NDPK polyclonal antibody. Of 115 patients tested, 59.1%(68/115) showed positive staining in the primary lesions, and 41.9%(36/86) were positive in the metastatic regional lymph nodes. A significantly higher positive staining rate was found in patients without regional nodal metastasis (86.2%, 25/29) than in those with nodal involvement (50.0%, 43/86; P

Purpose:This study was designed to investigate the expression of p27 Kip1 and cyclin D1 in gastric carcinoma in relation to biological behavior and prognosis. Methods:p27 Kip1 and cyclin D1 expression at protein level were determined by immunohistochemistry technique in 92 patients with gastric carcinoma. Results:Of the 92 patients, p27 Kip1 expression was low in 28(71.8%) and high in 11(12%),respectively. Cyclin D1 expression was low in 32 (72.7%) and high in 12 (13%) ,respectively.p27 Kip1 expression level was correlated with histological grade, depth of invasion, lymph-node metastasis, TNM stage( P

PURPOSE To explore an efficacious therapy for liver metastasis of colorectal carcinomas. METHODS Basing on excision of primary lesions. 86 cases of colorectal carcinomas metastasize to liver were treated in four different manners, namely: sole resection of the metastasis lesions, chemoembolization-resection, sole chemoembolization. and chemotherapy. We also analyze the efficacy in curing single metastatic liver cancer, multiple metastatic cancer that is confined to one section or both left and right sections of liver. RESULTS One year survival rates in the groups of sole resection and chemoembolization-resection are better than that of sole chemoembolization P

AFP from fetal serum and serum of patients with primary hepatic cancer were purified by affinity chromatography. Then, the lentil lectin-reactive and nonreactive variants of these purified glycoproteins were prepared by affinity chromatography with immobilized lectin. Glycopeptides and oligosaccharides were prepared from variants by protease treatment and hydrazinolysis, respectively, and subjected to carbohydrate and amino acid analysis. A small difference in the carbohydrate compositions of each variant was observed. Analysis of chemical compositions of AFP variants is useful for the differential diagnosis between benign liver diseases and primary hepatic cancer.

Objective To understand oral submucous fibrous (OSF) because the hair cause of disease and the quantitative corresponding measures,do a good job in OSF prevention and control work.Methods The quantitative cluster sampling,according to the diagnostic criteria of the development of the Pindborg,yuhu in Xiangtan city of different types of 57 units of 11 046 people to chew areca cause OSF epidemiological investigation.Results OSF 335 diagnosis example,the prevalence rate of 30.33‰,4 cases were oral cancer,oral cancer coexist rate was 11.94‰; All OSF patients had a history of betel nut,no chewing betel nut (containing the cigarette,wine,and spicy aficionados) were not found in patients with OSF; Of OSF prevalence in the chewing hobby was no differences in sex and age in the crowd; OSF prevalence of high and low with length of fixed number of year of average chewing betel nut dose and chewing betel nuts were closely related(r =0.28828,P ＜ 0.01) ; OSF prevalence was different from eating betel nut additive that had a very significant difference.Different hobbies compatibility with standardized test,7 incidence group had 6 group without significant difference,but people only eat chili can (in the control group,1 329) and outsiders no OSF patients (control group,698).Conclusions Survey results confirm that chewing betel nut is the main factor of Xiangtan people of OSF,and OSF carcinoma prevalence is lower than abroad.

BACKGROUND:Because of their immunological properties, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transfusion is developed as a new treatment for refractory graft-versus-host disease. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the safety and curative effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transfusion on treating different organ damages in graft-versus-host disease after al ogeneic hematopoietic stem celltransplantation. METHODS:Eight patients with malignant hematologic disease were included in this study. The patients developed severe steroid-resistant graft-versus-host disease after al ogeneic hematopoietic stem celltransplantation and received transfusion of mesenchymal stme cell(1×106 of immunosuppressive agent. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:For the total y eight patients, six got response (two cases of complete remission, and four cases of partial remission) and two showed no remission. Four of five cutaneous damages were ameliorated and one showed no effect. For three cases of oral graft-versus-host disease, two acquired complete remission and one showed partial remission. Two cases of liver graft-versus-host disease and two cases of astro-intestinal graft-versus-host disease obtained complete remission. No response was displayed to three cases of ocular graft-versus-host disease, one case of bronchiolitis obliterans, and one case of urinary graft-versus-host disease. In the median fol ow-up of 28 months (7-62 months), three patients developed posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders within 3 months after mesenchymal stem cells transfusion. Administration of mesenchymal stem cells is safe for treatment of severe graft-versus-host disease after al ogeneic hematopoietic stem celltransplantation. Mesenchymal stem cells transfusion may be a promising/kg) together with the primary therapy therapy for refractory cutaneous , astro-intestinal, liver and oral graft-versus-host disease but not for pulmonary, ocular and urinary graft-versus-host disease. Whether mesenchymal stem cells transfusion is associated with posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders needs more case data.

Objective:To investigate the effects of early postoperative enteral nutrition on recovery of patients with gastric cancer.Methods:Sixty-five cases of patients with gastric cancer were randomized into early enteral nutrition (EEN) group and enteral nutrition (EN) group.Serum total protein (TB),albumin(ALB),Prealbumin,white blood cell count (WBC),C-reactive protein (CRP),immunoglobulin,peripheral T-lymphocyte subsets,gastrointestinal recovery time,hospital stay and cost were recorded.The nutritional and cellular immunity parameters of the EEN group on 7th day after operation were higher than those of the EN group.Inflammatory response of the EEN group on 3th day after operation was lower than EN group.EEN group showed better immunological response and clinical recovery than the EN group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion:Early enteral nutrition in postoperative gastric cancer patients can improve early postoperative nutritional status and immune function,alleviate inflammatory response,promote the recovery of intestinal function and shorten hospital stay.

Objective To evaluate total gastrectomy and regular lymph node dissection for the treatment of advanced cardiac cancer. Methods Three hundred and eighty-seven patients with advanced cardiac cancer underwent total gastrectomy D2+ procedure. The relationships between depth of invasion, lymph node metastasis,the number of metastastic lymph nodes dissected and postoperative survival rate were analyzed. Results The 3-year and 5-year survival rates were 47.3% and 34.2% , respectively. Metastatic rate of N3 lymph node was 4. 8% and 15. 2% in advanced cardiac patients of PT3 and PT4, respectively. Survival rates significantly decreased along with the increase of lymph node metastasis. The 3-year and 5-year survival of patients who had less than 15 lymph nodes dissected was significantly poorer than those who had more than 15 lymph nodes dissected, respectively. The postoperative complication rate and mortality rate of the two groups were 14. 2% and 2. 52% , respectively. Conclution To improve the quality of life and survival rate, D2 + radical total gastrectomy should be performed for advanced cardiac cancer, and when indicated resection of spleen and/or body and tail of the pancreas should be performed.

ObjectiveTo compare the effects of different surgical approaches on SiewertⅡ (esophageal invasion ≤3 cm) adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction.MethodsThis retrospective study included 251 cases of Siewert Ⅱ adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction undergoing D2 or D2 + total gastrectomy by transabdominal approach ( TA group, 128 cases) or left thoracoabdominal approach ( LTA group, 123 cases).Operation time,blood loss, extent of esophageal resection, number of lymph nodes dissected,morbidity, mortality and the survival rate were a analyzed between the two groups.ResultsThe 3,5-year overall survival rates were 62. 5％, 39.0％ ( TA group) and 54. 9％, 31.9％ ( LTA group),respectively (P ＞ 0. 05). Length of esophageal resection in the LTA group were slightly longer than that in the TA group (5. 6 ± 1.1) cm vs. (5.4 ± 1.1 ) cm (P ＜0. 05), the positive surgical margin between two groups were not statistically different[1.6％ ( LTA group) vs. 3. 1％ ( TA group), ( P ＞ 0. 05 )]. The mean number of removed lymph node were not significantly different between two groups[23.4 ± 8.7 ( TA group) vs. 23.7 ± 8.4 ( LTA group)], ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). The operation time (227 ± 24) min, blood loss (270 ± 78)ml, and perioperative morbidity( 13.3％ ) and mortality( 1.6％ ) in TA group was significantly better than the LTA group[(261 ±32) min, (342 ±59)ml, 26.8％, 6.5％](P＜0.05).ConclusionsFor Siewert Ⅱ adenocarcinoma at esophagogastric junction (esophageal invasion ≤3 cm) ,total gastrectomy with D2 or D2 + lymph node dissection through the transabdominal approach could achieve curative purposes, with a low morbidity and mortality rate.

Objective To explore the predictive value of microvessel density(MVD)and blood vessel invasion(BVI)in hepatic metastasis from early-stage rectal cancer.Methods MVD and BVI in the tumor tissue from 380 patients with stage I and II rectal cancer was determined by immunohistochemical S-P method with anti-CDIOS antibody and anti-CD34 antibody,respectively.Multinomial logistic regression was performed to analyze the predictive value of MVD and BVI in hepatic metastasis from early-stage rectal cancer.Results CD105 was expressed in newborn blood vessels,not in normal blood veseels.in the rectal cancer tissue.MVD was correlated with histological type and infiltration depth(P＜0.05).Besides histological type and infiltration depth,BVI was also correlated with histological grade.Multivariate analysis revealed that histological type,tumor infiltration depth,BVI,adjuvant therapy,and MDV were independent predictors of hepatic metastasis from rectal cancer.The risk of hepatic metastasis in patients with postive expression of either MVD or BVI or both were significant higher than that in patients with low expression of MVD and those without BVI expression[hazard ratio(95%CI),4.210(2.182-11.214)].Conclusion BVI and MVD are independent predictors of hepatic metastasis from stage I and II rectal cancer.Combined detection of MVD and BVI may help to predict the clinical outcome of patients with early-stage rectal cancer.
